Consider the following table:
and 
a van der Waals constants. The correct statement about the gases is:
A
Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A ; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas 
B
Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A ; gas B will be more compressible than gas 
.
.
C
Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas 
D
Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be more compressible than gas 
.
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Gas A and 
have same value of ' 
' but different value of ' 
' so gas having higher value of 'a' have more force of attraction so molecules will be more closer hence occupy less volume. Gas B and D have same value of 'a' but different value of 'b' so gas having lesser value of 'b' will be more compressible.
